One of my favorite summer traditions is completing summer reading challenges with my kids. We make a lot of trips to the library and local bookstores to do a lot of reading all Summer. My 8-year-old son Hayden is my biggest bookworm. He wakes up 30 minutes early before school so that he can read his book. He is so so smart and loves to learn. Right now his career plan is to be an inventor. He … [Read more...]

Put Me In The Story recently created a brand new personalized book featuring Princess Belle and your little princesses!

I can't believe it is May already! School is winding down, and summer is swiftly on its way. My kids live outside and hate when it is time to come in. Hayden asks almost everyday if it is warm enough to swim. It is warmer, but not warm enough for swimming yet. He has been especially excited about swimming since we read the book "The Whale In My Swimming Pool." It is a new picture book by the … [Read more...]

I think I have already mentioned that I have a pretty bad addiction to children's books. My addiction to children's Christmas books is even worse! I have a HUGE stack of them. There is probably enough books now that I could read one a night to my kids without having to re-read any. I just love books, and my kids love them so I keep collecting. Christmas books are part of our Christmas traditions. … [Read more...]

One of my kids most favorite places to go is the zoo! All kids love the zoo, right? There are so many fun, silly, and interesting animals all in one place. In all honesty, I love the zoo as much as my kids do. I never tire of watching the giraffes or the monkeys swing around. The zoo is such a fun place to visit! When I was a kid I always thought I would be a zoo keeper... I think most kids … [Read more...]

Halli just turned one last month. I can't believe how fast the year flew by. Going from one kid to two kids was a harder adjustment for us than I expected it to be. I also forgot how expensive babies are! Diapers, wipes, clothes, baby food, it all adds up so quickly. I like to be able to save a little bit of money where ever I can, so I was really excited when Perrigo Nurtionals asked me to … [Read more...]

Is everyone ready for Halloween?! Can you believe it is only a few weeks away? I think Halloween is one of my favorite Holidays. Especially with kids. All the spooky decorations, fun Halloween themed crafts and treats, and getting to dress up! Plus hello...lots of chocolate and candy! Halloween is so much fun. At my house we go all out at the holidays, and I always try to add fun seasonal … [Read more...]

I have talked about my super cute little man a little bit before. He is insanely handsome, loves jokes, creative, super sweet and really, really smart! The kid is only 4 ½ and is already starting to read and spell. He loves reading and loves facts. The other day in the car I was speechless when he pointed out a bird and said “hey mom is that a peregrine falcon? When they dive they fly really … [Read more...]

If you're kids are anything like mine you've know all about the Mr. Poppers Penguin movie getting released today. My kids have been begging me to take them for weeks. The movie looks absolutely hilarious! Personally I adore Jim Carrey and will see any movie he's in regardless of what its about but one that my kids can go to is even more of an excuse to make it a date!
We also have a huge … [Read more...]
